RE: Cane Toads on the Menu.....
BUT beware that they are poisonous, found this:

 Toxicity

All stages of the Cane Toad's life-cycle are poisonous. The venom produced
by the parotoid glands acts principally on the heart. No humans have died in
Australia from Cane Toad poison but overseas, people have died after eating
toads and even soup made from boiled toad eggs. Cane Toads are also
poisonous to pets and in Hawaii up to 50 dogs a year have died after
mouthing Cane Toads. Signs of poisoning through ingestion include profuse
salivation, twitching, vomiting, shallow breathing, and collapse of the hind
limbs. Death may occur by cardiac arrest within 15 minutes.

Now maybe Stan will catch a few to feed the the local cats that keep
breaking his wipers (VC)......
